Christie: American Exceptionalism Under Threat by ‘Divider’ Obama

Speaking at the Reagan Library Tuesday evening, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie delivered a speech on “real American exceptionalism.” While he did not directly answer the question of whether he would reconsider a presidential bid in 2012, he urged the audience of about 900 to view a post on Politico‘s website that pieced together an extensive series of video clips in which Christie says he’s not running for president. Fans of the governor will likely be disappointed in his revelation, however it was delivered.

Fox News is reporting:
Chris Christie say he has finally made a definitive decision, once and for all, not to run for president in 2012, sources close to the New Jersey governor told Fox News on Tuesday.
Despite the intensity that has heightened in recent days as the New Jersey governor prepares to deliver a speech Tuesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, several people close to the governor insist he has not changed his mind to forego a presidential bid.
During the speech, which of course focused on former President Ronald Reagan, Christie dedicated a portion to what he calls the divisive re-election strategy of President Barack Obama, and how that differs from the American exceptionalism embraced by Reagan.
In 2004, Illinois State Senator Barack Obama gave us a window into his vision for American leadership. He said, “Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us — the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of ‘anything goes.’ Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there’s the United States of America.”
Now, seven years later, President Obama prepares to divide our nation to achieve re-election. This is not a leadership style, this is a re-election strategy. Telling those who are scared and struggling that the only way their lives can get better is to diminish the success of others. Trying to cynically convince those who are suffering that the American economic pie is no longer a growing one that can provide more prosperity for all who work hard. Insisting that we must tax and take and demonize those who have already achieved the American Dream. That may turn out to be a good re-election strategy for President Obama, but is a demoralizing message for America. What happened to State Senator Obama? When did he decide to become one of the “dividers” he spoke of so eloquently in 2004? There is, of course, a different choice.
Christie then said that, that choice was manifested in the way Reagan led the country in the 1980’s, citing the former president for stating: “I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That’s how I saw it and see it still.”
“That is American exceptionalism,” Christie stated firmly.
“Not a punch line in a political speech, but a vision followed by a set of principled actions that made us the envy of the world. Not a re-election strategy, but an American revitalization strategy.”
Mediaite provides the first half of Christie’s speech via Fox News and a full transcript of the speech can be found at National Review Online.
Do you agree with Christie on the meaning of American exceptionalism?

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 12:59amGreat words, but just that – words – and no deeds. Christie’s not running for president, so I’m over him. Time to refocus.
It amazes me how Fox rambles on and on about Christie’s Keynote speech, but when Cain is mentioned, he is again trivialized, i.e., straw polls don’t mean much. Sure, right, they only mean something when the guy they favor wins.
I am so over their opinions. We will vote with our heart and our head, and leave the media out of it. They’re worthless.

Good call. I like the idea of having a President who isn’t a career politician. The Constitution states that to be President you have to be a “naturalized citizen, and 35 years of age”. That is it. As for experience…One that knows how business works should have a better chance at fixing our economy…rather than just trying to get votes.

Agreed … Herman Cain and Marco Rubio would be a key ticket.
What we are witnessing is a Stalinist POTUS mentally falling apart right before our eyes.
There has been a political machine working on the fundamental transformation of America for more then 60 years.
(11/9/27 CAT post regarding NC governor Perdue – this is their next step)
The Stalinist are so close to victory they taste blood.
They have tried everything Stalin did, but nothing has worked.
Remember, Cass Suntein said; suggest … nudge … force?
Mr. Cain hinted about this is his recent tour of Florida.
Went to one of his speeches the week before the Orlando debate and listened carefully.
Herman is telling us what to watch out for, but he can’t come right out and say it … Yet.
We have three camps fighting for America.
The Socialists
The Stalinists
The Conservatives

I’m tired of the status quo… I’m tired of business as usual. Ron Paul is the only candidate who consistently abides by the Constitution and represents the best interests of the American people. Ron Paul is the only candidate who offers real common sense solutions to solving America’s myriad of problems. I may not agree with all that Paul says, but I know a decent and honest American patriot when I see one.
Unfortunately, since Ron Paul doesn’t fit the “status quo” and its current push for global governance, the “Unfair and Biased” FOX News pundits are doing their best to marginalize him…

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 12:39amMaybe some of you can enlighten me on the flags behind the Governor…I think they are the first I’ve seen with yellow fringe…does it have any special meaning?
Decided to Google it:
“The History of the Yellow Fringe:
In the first 57 years of American History, the only flags that had fringe were Military Battle Flags and Military Regimental Colors. The US Army did not even begin carrying the Stars and Stripes into Battle until 1834. Prior to that date, US Army Units carried only Military Flags (such as General Schuyler’s Flag), made up of either a plain blue or white flag, or Red and White alternating stripes; with a union bearing the US Coat of Arms or a Regimental designation, on either a white or blue field; and a red or yellow fringe bordering on three sides.
But, by the time of the Civil War, Army Regulation required that each Infantry Regiment carry two Flags; by military definition a National Color and a Regimental Color. According to Civil War Era Army Regulations; “Each regiment of Infantry shall have two silken colors. The first, or the national color, of stars and stripes, as described for the garrison flag; the number and name of the regiment to be embroidered with silver on the center stripe. The second, or regimental color, was to be blue, with the arms of the United States embroidered in silk on the center, with the name of the regiment in a scroll, underneath the eagle. The size of each color was to be six feet six inches fly, and six feet d

CC has said that he won’t run and the number one reason he cites is “if you are going to run for president, it has to be something you really want.”
I’d point out to him, that all our hero’s have turned out to be people who stood up and dealt with whatever was coming at them, answered the call to act…the needs/lives of others outweighing those of the individual…and “wanting” to be there, “wanting” to be a hero…had very little to do with it.

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 9:24amI’m rooting more and more for Cain, as I see the practical possiblity of his winning growing.
But as to Christie’s weaknesses, and they are many: He is really good on one thing, our fiscal crisis.
When I was trained as a First repsonder I learned that one may find an individual in critical condition with many serious conditions, a broken back, bleeding wound, head injury. All of these are critical and even life threatening, but if there is something keeping the blood from getting to his brain you put aside all other concerns and deal with that. Until you get the blood pumping to his brain nothing else matters.
that’s where I am with our financial crisis. Our financial crisis is killing us immediately. If we don’t solve that nothing else matters. Once we deal with that we will have time to handle the other serious problems. If christie gaurantees us a fix on the most critical problem facing ths nation I am willing toi punt on the rest. Besides, how critical is the Presidency on many of these other issues? How much damage can he do?
I would love to have a candidate perfect, or just good, on all or most of the issues. But i will settle for one is is good on the one issues that HAS to be dealt with now.

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 12:44amPersonally I never moved out so I am still a far left liberal, but what happened to you? Most people if they switch parties later in life become Republican when they wise up as to how the real world works. Did you move back into mommies basement and looking to take some of my government goodies from me?

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 6:45am@ExRepubSheep Ghandi was not a pedophile. An entire nation followed this peaceful man. And we got stuck with an entire nation who couldn’t understand fundamentally transform. The Repub. sheep are most likely glad you gone.

Posted on September 27, 2011 at 11:44pmI can only imagine how well Reagan himself would have laid it out. Obama and his progs are exactly what the founders warned against. The enemy within.

Report Post »Enciloon
Posted on September 28, 2011 at 12:50amDivisive is claiming to be an exrepublican on a conservative website. Even as a liberal myself (lifelong) I know that almost no one changes that way as they get older. Once people have to get in the real world they tend to become more conservative. Some stay the same. No one is conservative and becomes liberal when they mature. If I wasn’t so dependent on the government, even I would switch someday

Posted on September 27, 2011 at 11:59pmAmazing yet simple. When I hear Gov. Christie I feel a stir. The same feeling I get with Glenn Beck and a few of the GOP list of hopefuls. I would tend to agree my feeling for Cain and West are equally amazed. Plain folks speaking the truth an answer to a crisis. The answer is the truth!
